I am facing problem to get text file from application sever

Hi This is lokesh.
Actually my requirement is to craete sales orders by getting file from other server.for that i have used shell script to connect that server.Ok i am connecting to that different server(not sap server) successfully.
But my problem is getting text file from application SERVER.
That different server people will send the file name as 'DDHHMMSS' (Days,Hours,Minutes,Seconds).
Just suppose if they will send today means that file name will come as 20103025. and with in half an hour if they again send that file file means that file name as '20110025'.
like that file name is always varies.So how can i read that type of text files from the application server.
and one more thing that is there chance to read morethan one text file from application server.
Pls guide me if u know the solution.PLs this requirement is urgent.
Regards,
Lokeshgoud

do 180 times. " <<----- for 3 minutes
add sy-index to time.
concatenate file time into file.
write / file.
OPEN DATASET FILE FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
PERFORM READ_DATASET.
ENDIF.
file = '20'.
time = '100000'.
ENDDO.

it shoes all the data in a single line. Where as i need to download data in same format as in application server.
Awaiting for your responses.

Hi,
If we want to upload file data from the application server to the internal table, there is no function module or class static method which we can use, we must wirte the code by ourselves.
1. For the file data which has no seperator between field columns.
PARAMETERS p_file TYPE dxfile-filename.
START-OF-SELECTION.
OPEN DATASET p_file IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT FOR INPUT.
DO.
 READ DATASET p_file INTO gds_data.
 IF sy-subrc <> 0.
 EXIT.
 ENDIF.
 APPEND gds_data TO gdt_data.
ENDDO.
CLOSE DATASET p_file.2. For the file data which has tab separator between field columns.
DATA: gds_field_split type gts_data.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_field> TYPE gts_data.
PARAMETERS p_file TYPE dxfile-filename.
START-OF-SELECTION.
OPEN DATASET prf_file IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT FOR INPUT.
DO.
 READ DATASET p_file INTO gds_field.
 SPLIT gds_field AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab
 INTO TABLE gdt_field_split.
 LOOP AT gdt_field_split into gds_field_split.
 gdf_index = gdf_index + 1.
 ASSIGN COMPONENT gdf_index OF STRUCTURE
 gds_data to <fs_field>.
 IF sy-subrc = 0.
 <fs_field> = gds_field_split.
 ENDIF.
 ENDLOOP.
 APPEND gds_data TO gdt_data.
ENDDO.
CLOSE DATASET p_file.

Problem while dowloading the file from Application Server

Dear Experts,
I am facing the Problem while downloading the file from Application server.
We done the automatic function while saving the invoice, this will create an idoc, and this idoc is written in the Application Server.
I am running the Transaction AL11 and select the record, and from menu --> List, i am downloading into TXT format.
But for some segments, the length is long, and so the last 3 to 4 fields values are not appearing in the File. Even though i am unable to view the values in the file before downloading. But i can view in IDOC.
Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Srini

but our user will use the Txn. AL11 and they will download from there
Educate the user On a serious note, tell him this is not how data from app server should be downloaded. You can ask him to talk to the basis team to provide him access to the app server folder where the file is being stored.
I can set the Variant and put this in background, But always the file name will be change, Like we use Time stamp in the File name.
You can't automate this process by scheduling in BG mode. This is because the in BG mode you can't dwld the file to presentation server.
Hope i'm clear.

Problem in creating text file from report file

Hello Everybody...
I have problem in creating text file.
I had set System Parameter as below
DESTYPE : File
MODE : Character
DESNAME : gayu.txt
And ruler setting
Units : Character Cells
Character Cell Size : Horiziontal = 7
Vertiacle =12
GridSpacing : 1
no of snap points per grid spacing : 1
but when i run report it will give error
"REP_1219 M_2 or R_2 has no size -- length or width zero"
so is there any solution of that
or another way to convert report into text file?....

Hi Folks,
Please don't go after that Error as its a very deceptive one. Please don't go for altering your design Or changing the size of items in your layout.
Similar errors I have come across in reports. I think its due to file transfer type. You might have transferred the file in Binary and your File Mode I am seeing it as CHAR.
This normally happens while making the Report Format as "Text". Either you change that format which I think is possible in your case as your basic requirement is making a report output of CHAR type.
Please check for this error in Metalink and proceed accordingly. I could fix similar errors when I changed Format type to PDF(from text).

Hi,
You can use FM EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING to get all the files from application server in given directory.Then looping that table you can get data from file using open data set
IF pa_adir+lw_len(1) NE c_fhash .
      CONCATENATE pa_adir c_fhash INTO pa_adir.
    ENDIF.                             " IF pa_adir+lw_len(1) NE c_fhash
    CLEAR w_dir.
    w_dir = pa_adir.
    lw_dirname = pa_adir.
    REFRESH:
      t_files_app.
Getting all files in that directory with filter
    CALL FUNCTION 'EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING'
      EXPORTING
        dir_name               = lw_dirname
        file_mask              = w_filter
      TABLES
        dir_list               = t_files_app
      EXCEPTIONS

        read_directory_failed = 5
        too_many_read_errors   = 6
        empty_directory_list   = 7
        OTHERS                 = 8.
Here lw_dirname is directory name
and w_filter is filter for file types like *.txt
and you will get all files in t-files_app

Problems loading a text-file from a shared NT network order

Hi @ all,
I try to upload a text file in MII that is destinated in a shared order in the NT file network.
I used text_loader with URL FILE://SERVERNAME/SHARE/input.txt and I get the error message "connection refused" even if I use credentials with an authorised user.
Do you have any idea why it does not work?
Thanks in advance!
Sebastian

Hi,
For this you need to use FTP Input Action. Put all the files(you want to upload to MII) are in shared network into your FTP server.
Then use the FTP related actions in transaction. This is the best way.
Also see the similar [Thread|Re: Saving a file to an external system from MII server] and [Help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mii121/helpdata/en/44/710ca09ea03abee10000000a155369/content.htm]

FM to get the file from application server to presenatation server automati

Hi!
In my upload program I am egtting the error log file onmy application server directly. Is there a function module or a way that in my abap code I can mention to bring the file or transfer the file to the presentation server . As my program is been run in the back ground so I cannot directly get the file on the presenattion server, so I need to bring it back on teh presentation server back to see teh eror log.
I would like my program to do the transfer in background itself so that I can see the error log on a daily basis from my local file .
Thanks

SO , after reading all , I assume that there is no way in which when I run the background job and get a errro file on application server can be retrievd on my presenattion serevr during the background job run. I was thinking that theer might be a functionn module which will convert the application server file into presenttion server file during the program run in background and store it in the location provided.
I was trying to use FM CALL FUNCTION 'C13Z_APPL_TO_FRONT_END' and CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVFILE_SERVER_TO_SERVER' but using teh first one asks for source file and destination file name during teh program run and as it runs in background it cannot be provided again and again and teh second one dosent seem to work.
